Im sure it is false advertising. You are correct. WIth the numbers they posted they sure as heck wont be getting it from the heavier 18s but from the ultra light performance 19s. Also, the wider tires stick to corners more but I reckon it would also give you a great launch to post similiar numbers to Nissan's.

You should bring your point up at the dealership. I bet the sales team will look all confused and try to convince you to buy because numbers dont matter. WTF?
